All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Elizabeth Banks, who converted to Judaism prior to her marriage, opens up to Lucky about her experience of using a surrogate to have a baby (Felix, now 9-months.) Banks states that the surrogate mother is still in their lives, “like an auntie.” (Lucky)
- The Broderick boys were out and about and bundled in New York City this week. This clan is just like the postman–through rain, sleet, or snow, they’re always out walking. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- A whole week later and Rachel Zoe is still vacationing in St. Barth’s with Skyler and crew. The “holidays” are over, Zoe! If we have to be back at work, so should you. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Jewish mom Gwyneth Paltrow rang in the new year in Abu Dhabi with, of all people, Courtney Love. Apparently she was doling out some pretty good advice, spurring a Love love-fest on Twitter. (Famecrawler)

- Ok, we get it: Rachel Zoe’s son Skyler Morrison is way cooler than us and hangs out in fabulous St. Barth’s with Marc Jacobs, but still, this picture is a little embarrassing, right? (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Disgraced former congressman Anthony Wiener and his wife, Huma Abedin, welcomed their first baby boy, Jordan Zain Weiner, last week. For little Jordan’s sake, we really hope his dad’s name won’t be preceded by “disgraced” for all of time. (NY Post)
- If you’re curious what Tori Spelling got for Christmas (besides disapproving finger shakes from her Jewish ancestors), check it out here. (Famecrawler)
- Kate Hudson and son, Ryder, 7, went skiing in Aspen, Colorado yesterday. Bingham, at 5-months-old, is perhaps a little too young to hit the slopes just yet. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

- Winter time brings the added bonus of bundling your kids in the cutest jackets, scarves, and hats you can find. Exhibit A, above, features Sarah Jessica Parker with her 2-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha in matching grey coats. Maybe it’s just because there’s two of them, but I find this pretty cute. (Famecrawler)
- Isla Fisher went with a matching pink sweater and cap when bundling up Elula for a trip to a children’s gym in West Hollywood. Now, I just looked up the weather for West Hollywood and it doesn’t seem to be dipping below the 60s, but it’s nice to see her get into the winter spirit, nonetheless. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- New Yorkers Bethenny Frankel and Bryn Hoppy (how did I not know that was her last name until now??) were out and about, with Bryn in a fur-lined hooded coat, red-nosed and all. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Rachel Zoe and family were all sweaters and hats and scarves in Los Angeles (again, completely unnecessary), with baby Skyler in a sophisticated patterned scarf and white knit cap. Now I may be going out on a limb here, but does anybody else think Rachel’s necklace looks like a giant dreidel? No, just me? Cool. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

- The costume designer for the classic 90′s sitcom Blossom (you know, the one starring homegirl Mayim Bialik) gave an interview for Refinery 29 about what it was like the style those iconic looks. It’s accompanied by a great slideshow, too. (Refinery 29)

- Tori Spelling played dress up with her family for the October issue of Parenting Magazine. She talks about her guilt with balancing motherhood and work commitments, and her goal for her kids to be confident in themselves by the time they’re 30. So probably, they’ll have their own guilt fairly soon. (People)

-Breaking news: Sarah Jessica Parker drives a minivan. She calls it her “Mommymobile.” She gushed about it on TV with Katie Couric, who according to this article is a fellow minivan lover. Stop the presses. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

- Well, in important current events, Rachel Zoe gave a tour of Baby Skyler’s room to ABC News. His closet is bigger than most NYC apartments and he owns so many pairs of designer shoes that even if he wore a new pair each day, his feet would outgrow them before he got through them all. Oh, and then there’s the big reveal at the end: his Gucci bomber jacket. Just. I don’t. Speechless. Oy. (ABC)
- Possible future quasi-celebrity half-Jewish babies are on the way, via The Bachelorette. Ashley Hebert, a dental hygienist who was dumped by last season’s Bachelor only to become the first Bachelorette to get dumped, like, 3 times on her own season, chose nice Jewish boy J.P. Rosenbaum, a construction manager from Long Island who proposed to Hebert on the season finale. Mazel Tov! (Tablet)
- Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted walking the twins (with her nanny!) in Soho. Is anyone else concerned that Loretta’s leg appears to be completely turned in the wrong direction? (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Soleil Moon Frye (aka Punky Brewster) has a parenting book coming out called Happy Chaos. Check out the book trailer, which just debuted on Celebrity Baby Scoop.

- Whether or not you saw it coming, it’s still sad to think about the passing of Amy Winehouse at just 27 years old. This slideshow shares some great childhood photos of her, pre-beehive. Her funeral was yesterday at a North London synagogue. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- He was fashionably late, but he’s finally here: Selma Blair gave birth to her first son, Arthur Saint Bleick, on Monday. Let me be the first to admit that the name made me double-check my sources on whether she was Jewish or not. Mazel tov, Selma! (Babyrazzi)
- Coolest-looking Jewish celebrity parent Lenny Kravitz has come out and said it: his 22 year old daughter Zoe is his best friend. Cue the awwws. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- Here’s a slideshow of Rachel Zoe’s designer baby goods that will probably gross you out. Louis Vuitton diaper bag? Missoni stroller? Stella McCartney onesies? Yep, that’s all very necessary. (Lil Sugar)

- Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s first child is due next month, and while she’s been quoted as saying she has Jewish superstitions, the founder of Juicy Couture just threw her a lavish baby shower. Do not fret, though: she had her staff hide all the gifts. She’s also doling out some fashion tips for pregnant women, but as you can see above, I don’t know if I’d take all of that advice (I mean, those heels!) (Babyrazzi)
- There’s been a first sighting of Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest addition at Heathrow Airport. I would tell you more details, but the couple is keeping everything, including the baby’s name and birth date, under wraps. It is a girl, though. And a human. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
- TV star Michael Rappaport brought his sons Maceo and Julian to the NBA All-Star game this Sunday. I don’t know why his sons look so unhappy. Maybe because Justin Beiber got to play in the celebrity game and they didn’t? (Babyrazzi)
- Big news: Kate Hudson was having a post-lunch stroll in LA and she raised her hand up and all the nearby paparazzi snapped shots of her newly growing baby bump. And… I guess that’s it. Slow baby bump news day. (People)
